You Light Up My Radar

There’s something inside me that knows when you’re nearby. You cannot sneak up on me; it’s funny when you try. There must be something in the air, a noise without a sound, ‘Cause you light up my radar whenever you’re around. I can taste your presence before you pass the door, And I can smell you’re essence from clear across the floor. I can always feel where you are--we’re mutually bound, ‘Cause you light up my radar whenever you’re around. Chorus (repeated to fade after 4th verse): The lightest caress of your touch makes my ringers ring The first impression of your voice makes me want to sing The very first hint of your taste or scent makes my motor start ‘Cause even the smallest whisper of your presence melts my heart. I don’t need to see you, to feel when you are there. There’s just something about you that makes me so aware. No matter how lost you think you are, with me you’re always found-- ‘Cause you light up my radar whenever you’re around. Decades passed together. There weren’t enough years. Though love may be forever, we buried you in tears. Your presence seems everywhere, without a sight or sound, You still light up my radar ‘cause you’re always around.
